I was too busy reading, easily a book a day.

Excerpt:
That is not that case, authorities tell the L.A. Times.

"It didn't start with the books and it didn't end with the books," State's Attorney for Wicomico County Matt Maciarello told The Times. "It's not even a factor in what law enforcement is doing now."

In fact, McLaw has not been arrested. No warrant for his arrest has been issued.

Concerns about McLaw were raised after he sent a four-page letter to officials in Dorchester County. Those concerns brought together authorities from multiple jurisdictions, including health authorities.

McLaw's attorney, David Moore, tells The Times that his client was taken in for a mental health evaluation. "He is receiving treatment," Moore said.

Because of federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act regulations mandating privacy around healthcare issues, he was unable to say whether McLaw has been released.

McLaw's letter was of primary concern to healthcare officials, Maciarello says. It, combined with complaints of alleged harassment and an alleged possible crime from various jurisdictions led to his suspension. Maciarello cautions that these allegations are still being investigated; authorities, he says, "proceeded with great restraint."

If you get one that's been out for 3-6 months, and is popular, it's got a really good chance of everything being supported. 9 months, and it's most likely got pretty much full support. If it's from a major manufacturer, and isn't targeted at a specific market, it's likely supported.

I bought a Gigabyte Series 7 m/b late last year. Back in Jan, my 6-yr-old m/b died, and I rebuilt my system. I run CentOS, same as RHEL, which is *not* "cutting" (or bleeding) edge like fedora, and *everything* was supported. Just watch out for FUD, and try to get some feel whether there's a *lot* of screaming out there about Linux not supporting something, or it's just one or two idiots making a lot of noise that's getting propagated.

Were they eating *exactly* the same foods, bar the differnce in fat and carbs, AND NOTHING ELSE?

Even more, which group was getting more high fructose corn syrup?

Or anything other than this? I mean, "detained for 15 days" - is that like "arrested and jailed for two weeks (or whatever) for disobeying a police officer", that happens in the US all the time? And at least he didn't put his hands up and yell "I'm not armed", and get shot down by the police officer.....

Now, for you slashdotters who have no clues whatever, who've never actually, you know, gone out to a protest in the RW, in their meat bodies, here's what actually happens: a) there's the folks in the legal protest area; b) if it includes this, there's the civil disobedience area, where they sit down, and the cops arrest them and put them in a holding tank in jail, c) there's the roving civil disobedience, and d) there's the crazies and agents provocateurs who break windows, or (rarely) burn cars, etc.

Now about a news story: where was Dmitry, and how did he happen to face a police officer, and what happened? The story, as posted, is not a story, just a few tweets by the guy in question.

If so, you're idiots. Show me where he asked for the resignation of everyone appointed by Bush and Cheney.

And tell me that there aren't folks who work for the government who wouldn't like to hurt him.

As a couple of datapoints, 10-12 years ago, in the mainstream press, were two stories, not many months apart: first, Dem. Congressman David Thomas was prevented from flying, because his name was on the no-fly list, and it took *him* two weeks to get it off.

How many folks do *you* know named David Thomas... or is that your name?

And then there was the other case, and that did *not* end well for the TSA... when they tried to keep Sen. Ted Kennedy from flying, claiming his name was on the no-fly list.

Come on, all of you on the right, let's see you posting screams of rage against Bush and Cheney for *pure* political persecution.

Krypton?

                mark "it had to be asked"

a) change providers, or
b) talk to a lawyer. Really. See if they'll take it on spec. If not, it might be worth paying some money, since *sometimes* all it takes is a lawyer letter to their legal service address to get them to move.

Is there anyone here who makes death threats against someone they don't know personally (and who would know if it was or was not a joke), and does not expect them to go to the authorities, or expect a knock at their RW door by people with badges and a warrant?

I mean, really? If so, I think they think they've uploaded their brains to a video game. Sorry, guys, the RW *always* wins.

                mark, whose duaghters and son would probably be able to track the poster to their home for the cops... oh, or
                                        since it's over the wire, the FBI?

After much yelling and screaming on the CentOS mailing list, I still see *nothing* that was so broken or unwieldly in SysV that it needed to be completely replaced. And by something that requires a lot more typing.

And I *so* enjoy telling a service to start, and having *zero* feedback.

While we're at it... GRUB2 MUST DIE!

Of course they're using tax shelters to avoid paying taxes that they legitimately owe.

And I'm also... not sure if amused is the right word... at the GOP/Libertarians here who think this is just great... and then turn around and yell about the US national debt, and raising *their* income taxes.

                mark "there are two kinds of Republicans: millionaires and suckers"

Who built the rocket and spacecraft? Was it the Indian space agency, or was it built by large aerospace companies for India?

              mark "is he suggesting that the govenment, on civil service wages, could do it cheaper?"

As witnessed by the 100+line stack traces when tomcat crashes....
